Session Description

Engineering education research teams seek to revolutionize engineering departments through the implementation of existing EngEd research, use of organizational and cultural change theories, and production of new knowledge [1], [2]. Given the extent of these goals, EngEd teams are composed of researchers, administrators, and instructors from a range of disciplines (e.g., engineering, EngEd, psychology) [1], [2], [3]. Each of these team members bring their own approaches to the generation, expression, and application of knowledge. These differences in thinking are key to the success of EngEd projec ...

Session Description

Systemic change, or systems-level culture changes are often the goals of engineering education studies and projects. However, the activities of these projects often focus on one element of the larger system, typically the student experience. The student experience is a keystone of engineering education, but student level changes have only a small impact on the larger systems in place. This illuminates a tension between the stated vision and the actual ability to impact the systemic structures perpetuating inequitable access to, experiences within, and outcomes of engineering environments.
